Thanks for the greenie, skiguy!

I thought that a number of times while watching this, especially watching the footage of Anker and Houlding free-climbing the Second Step. Nice stuff.

The Wildest Dream is now on DVD... The Wildest Dream is now available on DVD from Netflix (or you can stream it). We saw it last night -- it's worth a watch.

Yes -- I think that I was indeed there about the same time you were. In fact, I think that you were probably about 10 minutes from the Madison summit when I shot that picture I posted. Had you looked to the east from the summit, you might just have seen a person wearing a maroon jacket, with a...

Skiers can access the Hayes Copp Cross Country Ski Trail from either Dolly Copp Campground or the Great Gulf Trail trailhead. The lots for both are plowed and have ample parking. From Dolly Copp, the ski trail crosses the Daniel Webster-Scout Trail shortly before the start of the loop, so one...

Congratulations! Very nice!

They are not.

Agreed -- I've met on this forum some of the nicest people whom I could hope to meet; I've become friends with some, which is a bonus. And, that they share a love of hiking is simply icing on the cake.

No; it's a self-storage tote bag -- for storing one's self. On a more serious note, I had a similar experience with Kahtoola when returning a busted Microspike last year.

Thanks for the greenie -- and I think your sense of humor is excellent -- keep it coming! (And good luck on your five-day trek!)

After this weekend, all trails are broken out and patiently await you.

Yes; in late March of 2010 -- after a large snowfall obscured the broken-out upper section of the Valley Way -- the upper portion of Snyder Brook (just below the hut) became an "alternate route" for about the final 0.4 miles.

I always wondered why certain systems would just miss us...

Thanks, Silverfox Dude! When I was on the summit looking at the alpenglow on Mount Washington, I was thinking about you and Val and how you folks were most likely witnessing the very same wonderful sight.

Phil -- thank you for the green square of approval! It's very much appreciated. By the way, how are your new environs working out; happy to be back north?

Yes -- in particular the Hohokam people, who between the 7th and 14th centuries built some pretty sophisticated canals/irrigation systems in Arizona. Remnants of some of these canals became the irrigation and canal system used by Jack Swilling when he founded Phoenix in 1867. (End thread drift.)

Thanks for resurrecting this thread, Coldfeet -- it's a treasure trove of useful information.

Thank you for the nice note. And, yes, I suspect you'll encounter some snow and ice atop the Franconia Ridge -- but it sure looks pretty up top. The Presis look nice now, too, with a nice glaze of snow. Enjoy!

Oh, don't you worry -- you'll be dealing with me soon enough!
